Sometidbits about the Mosque : The Mosque or Masjid, which stands to, the west of the Taj Mahal is reported to have been built by Isa Muhammed and plays an integral part in the overall design. It is made from red sandstone and measures 210 feet [64 meters] in length and 90 feet [27 meters] in width and is raised on a slight plinth. The exterior possesses one dominant portal, which is also known as an iwan.Either side of the major iwan is two smaller arches sandwiched between four towering pinnacles.

Hello Farhat,
A less often seen part of the Taj Mahal complex. This mosque certainly doesn't get the attention it deserves, being totally outshone by the white marble of the Taj. I like the mild and natural colours and the inclusion of a few people.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Farhat, very good photograph of this interesting and beautiful mosque, beautifully captured in this interesting image with good sharpness, light and color. Very good and interesting job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning and happy start to the week.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.

An inpressive view on the Mosque, Farhat, and fairly taken the distance to show it whole.
Light was not so favorable, yet you had managed to show its details in a fairly well texture.
People gave good scale along.
Have a nice day,
Ike

Hi Farhat,
Excellent view to this nice mosque which we cannot see on many photos, overshadowed by famous Taj Mahal.
I like your viewpoint and also inclusion of the walking man.
Very well done.

You're capturing well this architecture by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see grand Mosque inside the Taj Mahal Complex. It looks like elegant and good design. And, it's also impressive in dome roof and tasteful color combination.

It's always nice to see one of the other magnificent buildings around the Taj, anywhere else this mosque would get more attention but here it stands often overlooked in the Taj shadow,
I think the people are an important element to give scale but they are also nicely placed throughout the frame

Hello Farhat,
Good view of the building from slightly angular POV. NIce depiction of foreign architecture. Like the contrast between red sandstone and white marble. Nice shot, thanks for sharing.

The 4 people in the far distance right near the temple and standing in the huge doorway certainly add scale to this massive temple. Good sharpness and diffused light with realistic looking color and saturation. The additional man in the fg adds depth. Tfs!

The Taj Mahal is well-known but this mosque is less known. I would this Beautiful building would have been much more attractive for photographers if it had been somewhere else. You have taken a nice photo of it and the inclusion of some people adds a sense of scale. TFS and have a nice day!

Happy to see this one featured again, Patrick recently posted a picture as well. It really is nice to get a glimpse of the other, lesser known sites surrounding the famed Taj Mahal. Wonderful inclusion of the gentleman coming in from the right side, adding that human element with a touch of motion. Beautiful architecture and rustic colors with the prominent domes as a background element. Nicely arranged and timed. Thanks for shedding some light on this mosque. Have a great new day. All the best.

Namaste Farhat,
the cloudy sky and the difficult light have not avoided you for to take a good photo of this wonderful mosque, where we can enjoy its rich and elegant architecture.
People adds a good reference and a bit of vitality into the composition.
A great work.
Best regards,

Hi Farhat.
Despite the greyish day, you've captured a wonderful picture of this splendid mosque, which is a great complement to the whole Taj Mahal, its lovely reddish color contrasting with the pale tone of their domes.
A colorful perfect very natural.
A bright image with optimum clarity.
Good job.
Enjoy a good weekend.
Best wishes.
